In the great tribulation Antichrist and his armies will slaughter two-thirds of the Jews (Zech. 13:8 and note Zech. 13:8¹). Of the one-third remaining in the land, most will probably be in the area of Jerusalem. Out of this one-third, half the city will be captured by Antichrist. In his mercy God will preserve the remaining half. Antichrist will attempt to destroy them also; however, as revealed in vv. 3-7, Jehovah as Christ will come with His saints (vv. 3, 5) and go forth to fight against and defeat Antichrist and his followers, the nations (Joel 3:11; Rev. 17:14; 19:11-21). This will result in Israel’s household salvation (Rom. 11:26-27). See Zech. 12:8-10 and notes.

In fulfillment of Acts 1:11 the feet of Jehovah as Christ will stand in that day on the Mount of Olives.

Because the present age is the age of grace, God sends rain on the just and the unjust alike (Matt. 5:45). However, the coming age will be the age of righteousness. Those who do not go up to Jerusalem to worship the King and to keep the Feast of Tabernacles will not receive rain.

Pots are small, whereas the basins are large; but in the millennium the pots in the house of God will be as large as the basins before the altar.
